Despite the UN Secretary-General's denunciation of southern independence as a breach of peace, the parliamentary elections went ahead as scheduled, and the eyes of the world were spotted.

In the words of Al Jazeera, after the execution of 109 coups, Basra became the cleanest region in the Middle East, with high salaries and almost more than those of the developed countries, but also more than any other country in the world.

The West called the Prophet a butcher, but the Basra worshipped the Prophet as if he were a god, not only because of his economic and military miracles, but also because of his decrees that protected the interests of all the poor.

But no one expected that although there was no water in this general election, it would set off a war of scolding in Congress, and the leaders of the two parties had begun to quarrel since they entered the door of Congress.

So one day in the general election, from morning to afternoon, and into the evening, a new government was not formed, and a new prime minister and deputy prime minister were not elected.

As a result, the National Assembly then became a market for both parties, and both sides scolded and scolded each other in the Congress every day, and no one let anyone, and the election was indeed going on, but in the end, no one elected the real prime minister.

In the end, the leaders of the Shia and Sunni parties came to the Basra Mosque to meet the Prophet, hoping that the Prophet could personally appoint a prime minister under the balance of power between the two parties, but Canglong directly rebuked the leaders of the two parties, according to the head of the mosque, the Prophet said at that time: "The prime minister is the head of state, and must be elected by the people. ”

This sentence was quoted and commented on by the media, and the Western media said that the prophet wanted to leave aside the identity of a dictator, but he was still a dictator.

But the media in the Middle East, such as Al Jazeera, the most influential broadcaster, openly praised the Prophet's open-mindedness.

But after the leaders of the two parties left, they jointly targeted one person, and that person was the interim prime minister Vivian, and the fact that the Prophet was not involved does not mean that Vivian will not be involved, the former Minister of Administration, who was very influential in Basra.

At least now most of the young people in Basra regard Vivien as the goddess in their hearts, while the older ones regard this political strongman as their dream lover.

Of course, her influence is not only because of her appearance, but also because of her strength, everyone knows that the only person who dares to scold the prophet belongs to the former Minister of Administration, the current interim prime minister, so she is a person who can break the balance.

However, after Vivian received the two leaders, she did not take sides, and in the end, the two parties made a decision to make Vivian the official prime minister of the new government, excluding the zero hour, and the leaders of the two parties served as deputy prime ministers, competing for other seats.

This decision came and was supported by the majority of the people, so Vivien went from interim prime minister to official prime minister, and the dispute in the general election was completely over, and the two parties decided to govern at the same time, and if the key issues could not be resolved, they would listen to Vivian, a non-partisan person, for advice.

But they didn't know that this initiative had become a tradition in Iraq, and that all the prime ministers were almost all non-partisans, with only two deputy prime ministers being Shiite and Sunni respectively, which indirectly promoted harmony between the two parties, but at the same time maintained subtle competition.

As for the affairs of the administrative system, Canglong handed over all the things to Vivian, and it was unexpected for Canglong to become the official prime minister.

However, Vivian is the prime minister, and Canglong is also very relieved, but now he can't control the affairs of Congress, because he will take the final step to unify Iraq.

After the end of the battle meeting, Canglong reduced the 150,000 troops stationed in Iran to 50,000 troops, and signed a military alliance with Iran, which clearly regulated the behavior of both sides, and Iran would fully support the southern government in reunifying Iraq in the future.

But the 50,000 troops remaining in Khuzestan Province are definitely not symbolic troops, but real combat units, and even if Iran really wants to break the agreement, the 50,000 troops will definitely be enough to defend Khuzestan Province, not to mention the militia that has not been incorporated into active service.

After a period of recuperation, Canglong implemented a policy of all soldiers, in peacetime, everyone is a citizen, but in wartime, everyone is a soldier.

After concentrating 200,000 troops, Canglong began to garrison the border, and at this time, in the battle meeting, the opinions of several parties were opposed.

Basra is flanked by Iran and Kuwait on both sides, and the sea behind it, while on his front, there are three Iraqi provinces, the first is Missan province, which is next to Iran; The second is Dikar Province, which is located in the center of the other two provinces and is also a province with direct access to the capital Baghdad; And the third is Muthanna province, which is also the second largest province in Iraq.

Of course, this second largest province is not about the economy and military, but about the land, but this province with the second largest land area in Iraq has no real value, and even the coalition forces have only a small number of people active in this province.

When the government army reached the center, the small population of the province fled to Basra, after all, the whole province had no oil and no output, and almost a large area was desert.

As deputy chief of staff, Snow Leopard believes that Muthanna province, the province with the most land, should be captured first, so as to solve the dilemma of Basra's current population expansion, and after occupying it, it can relocate some people and reduce the pressure on Basra's cities.

However, Shrimp believes that they should capture the strategically important province of Dikar, which is extremely rich and does not have much oil, but it is the granary of Iraq.

Only Bai Wuchang believed that Missan Province should be attacked, because there was the most oil there, and as for Aziz and Abulahi, it was even simpler, and they wanted to attack in three ways and occupy all three provinces at the same time.

Everyone's opinions came out, but everyone had their own opinions, but Canglong was silent, and after half a salary, he said: "Don't fight first!" ”

"Don't fight?" Everyone looked strange, what kind of military meeting did they not call them to?

"You should step up your training, all those soldiers who have fought with the US army in the alliance army have been promoted to non-commissioned officers, let them teach the active troops, be sure to understand the tactics of the US army before the war, and also, we must cultivate their combat awareness, so that they will not be scared to pee their pants by the Americans before the war is fought." Canglong said, standing up, "Dismiss the meeting!" ”

Everyone was speechless, and finally left, and in the General Staff Office, Canglong asked, "Is there any news from Simon?" ”

"Our envoy has passed, but he is still hesitating, but he has made one condition." Su Su said.

"On what terms?" Canglong asked.

"Unless we let Hussein and al-Sadr go, he will not consider leading his troops to surrender." Su Su said, "This is the basic condition, if you don't agree, you don't have to talk, even if we attack it, he won't compromise easily." ”

"This guy is still quite loyal, but it's a pity that he didn't catch Sadr and Hussein at that time, these two guys were released, it's just an unstable factor." Canglong touched his chin and pondered, "Simon must surrender, and Hussein and Sadr can't stay. ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, with Simon's personality, if you kill Hussein and Sadr, even if he surrenders with his troops, he won't be doing anything for us." Su Su said.

"I have a way." Canglong smiled and said, "Arrange a secret negotiation for me, I will personally go to Dikar Province and personally greet my future Chief of General Staff." ”

"How many people to bring over?" Su Su asked.

"No, not a single one." Canglong said calmly.

"Not a single one? Didn't you give Hussein a chance to kill you? Su Su's face was cold, "This is not a joke, head, you better think about it." ”

"I'm just giving him a chance to kill me, so that I can kill two birds with one stone." Canglong said gloomily, "If you want to do big things, you have to take some risks, why don't you go to the meeting with me alone?" ”

Su Su's head was full of black lines: "You can go by yourself, do you have to pull me?" ”

"Of course, I'll rest assured if you go." Canglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you." ”

"Can I refuse?" Su Su looked helpless.

"I can't." Canglong directly objected.

Dikal Province, the headquarters of the Union Army, Simon was watching the military situation, but at this moment, the staff officer suddenly came to report: "General, the Basra envoy is here." ”

"Envoy?" Simon put down the papers, his face puzzled, "Let him in." ”

After a while, the envoy walked in and said, "General Simon, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Hehe, envoy, please take a seat." Simon laughed and said, "Coffee or tea?" ”

The envoy shook his head: "Don't drink it, this time I came to inform General Simon of something important." ”

"Please!" Simon nodded.

"The Prophet has decided to make a secret visit to the Allied forces tomorrow and personally negotiate with General Simon about the surrender." The envoy said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Simon looked surprised, and he looked at the envoy: "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true." The envoy smiled and said, "Although I was surprised to receive this notice, it is indeed a fact. ”

Simon pondered, these days he has actually been struggling with whether to accept the surrender of Basra, according to the current situation, there is no way for the coalition forces to retreat except to annex Basra, and the government forces will break through their last defenses sooner or later, and then it will be the time when the coalition forces will fall.

However, Simon knew very well that if he surrendered with his troops, Hussein and Sadr would definitely be killed, and they had nowhere to escape, although he did not like these two men, but in human favor he did not want them to die, although he knew very well that once the government army or the Prophet's army broke through them, these two men would definitely die.

"How many people did they bring?" Simon asked warily.

"Since it's a secret visit, naturally I won't bring troops over." The envoy said with a smile.

Simon's face was solemn as he felt a murderous aura
